The heart of grilled artichokes and dip.

the heart of grilled artichokes

Recently, a young lady so dear to my heart shared this poem with me. Since April is National Poetry Month I thought I would share it with you. The poem speaks of a romance so true that I am ever grateful that my son was so loved.

i carry your heart with me 

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and itโ€™s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder thatโ€™s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

~e. e. cummings

Ellie and Will go hunting.
Elinore taught Will a thing or two about hunting

When it comes to food the best heart in the fridge comes from the artichoke. Don't argue with me because I don't do dove heart, or chicken heart or any other heart that comes with a pair of eyes. Truth is I could easily be a vegetarian, but I digress. Enjoy the recipe for heart of grilled artichokes with a sweet Asian chili mayo. ย Thanks to my sweet daughter for creating this recipe with me. She does my heart good.
